This is the way my mother cooks tomato rice.I prefer eating this as a breakfast dish or evening snack with tea. This was my usual lunch during school days. You can use any oil instead of ghee for preparing this.Ingredients and MethodBasmati rice 2 cupsCook rice with little salt.Drain and keep aside.

Hi Seena,Im back!!... though the tomato rice came out well...(the rice got little mushy)i didn get good marks from him.. but i keep my hope alive to be a good cook.. ;-)..May be that.. he likes typical kerala foods and this one resembles a kannada food!!! but you know i like kannada foods:(coz i grew up there.And i used to prepare this in my own style..{I need to thank you that i got into Ramya's mane adige , where i will get loots of kannada recipe!!}

I have many doubts.. shall i ask u few here? *Can i prepare biryani without curds?*how to know the fish is cooked when i fry them?*Do you have any other recipe for chakka kuru.. something like thoran ?

Yesterday Jeeva, left my mouth drooling , as she prepared ur chikcen fry and tells it came out well.. hmm.. Loads of thanks..!!

Nimi,so sad to hear dear, don't worry u can do it next time.. :)For biryani,use coconut plus lime juice instead of curd,For frying fish,you can hear noise of bursting out while preparing fish fry, so it is the time to finish frying.. karichu kalayalle.. :)For chakkakkuru,have another recipes, will post later insha Allah.. if possible send a mail , ok,.?

I tried it out and my husband loved it.. Thankz so much for the recipe.. I wanted to ask you a thing..rice got a bit mushy .. when i pressure cook basmati rice it often happens.. can you tell me specifically how to pressure cook basmati rice properly...

Neema,no need to pressure cook basmati rice.Just use 2 cups of water for 1 cup of basmati rice, allow to boil,reduce heat and allow to cook about 3/4 then switch off , keep the lid closed.It will be cooked within few minutes.If you prefer to pressure cook, choose the same amount of water and let it cook and switch off fire before the first whistle comes.Allow to cool and then open the pressure cooker.I haven't tried making basmati in pressure cooker yet, but have tried other rices.Hope you can do well, if not let me know. Ok.. :)
